Woke up with three feet less of intestines this morning.

Can't be much worse than actaeon's stories.

Forgot about those.

It's only funny because it's true!

 

[actaeon277]

Don't push me.
I have pictures.

 

[actaeon277]

I kinda understand the pain nippr went through.
I was "blocked" for awhile. No surgery necessary, thankfully.
But oh my God did it hurt.
Thought it was a kidney stone.
Thought it was back pain.
Took a while to figure out.

Maybe if people repped me more, I would tell less gross stories.

Day-Yumm.!!

Hope you heal very soon and prayers for complete recovery.!!

 

[LanceCriminal]

Praying for you, man.

Still looking for preventative ways to combat this terrible problem that apparently happens more than previously known.

Supplements, diet, exercise? H20, caffeine?

I had the same thing in Dec. '17. I went several weeks of doctor visits, etc. before they figured out the issue. After the surgery it was determined that the blockage was malignant so I got most of a year of chemo and radiation to boot. I hope your situation goes much better and you heal quickly. Oh, you tell them when you're ready to go back to work. It doesn't work well the other way around.

Also, I recently had a bout with "strictures" left over from the surgery. It put me in the hospital for two days. They basically shut down my digestive system by not giving me anything by mouth for a couple of days hoping it would sort itself out. Thankfully it did. It wasn't all that bad as they kept me well medicated. Prior to my surgery I was in the hospital for about a week being fed intravenously. The whole experience was just very weird. They are very understanding about the pain and most forthcoming with the heavy duty pain meds. This most recent visit they kept me pumped full of Dilaudid. Prior and after surgery it was morphine.

I know that all to well with my company. Trust me, my doctor, surgeon, and I are in complete control over that.

People don't seem to understand what a surgery like that takes out of you. Everyone seemed to think I should be back to work the next week.

Repped!

Rep'd...

Thank you to doggy, websnyder, and indiucky for the reps.

Darn.
Hoist by my own petard.

I was going to try to unhoist you by giving negative rep, but the system won't let me. We're being oppressed by the system.

That's okay.
I'm trying to figure out what a petard is.

 

[DoggyDaddy]

I'm trying to figure out what a petard is.

The idiom to be hoist by one's own petard originates in Shakespeare's Hamlet (written around 1600). In the play, Claudius, the Danish king and Hamlet's stepfather, entreats two of Hamlet's schoolfellows, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, to betray Hamlet—the pair are to escort Hamlet to England, carrying a letter instructing the English king to put Hamlet to death. Learning of the plot to kill him, Hamlet contemplates how to turn the tables against them: "For 'tis the sport to have the enginer / Hoist with his own petar; and't shall go hard / But I will delve one yard below their mines / And blow them at the moon." Hoist is the past participle of hoise, an earlier form of the verb hoist, "to be lifted up," while a petar or petard is a small bomb used in early modern warfare. The phrase "hoist with his own petard" therefore means "to be blown up with his own bomb." Contemporary audiences must have been struck by Shakespeare's turn of phrase, because it soon became a commonplace expression in 17th-century English.

I always thought it was like a pike or a spear.
